FIR filed against former BJP MLA after video goes viral

JAIPUR: An FIR was lodged against former BJP MLA Jaswant Singh Gurjar of Dholpur district on Wednesday night, who made a controversial remark threatening his opponents of "cutting their hands if anyone touched his worker" and that he will "lay down bodies". "An FIR has been lodged against him (Jaswant Singh Gurjar) at Bari police station. The complaint was filed by Badi Tehsildar Giridhari Lal Meena on the directions of Dholpur Collector," said Deputy SP, Badi. Dholpur Collector N M Pahadiya and SP DD Singh confirmed that an FIR has been lodged against him. The incident happened at a house situated on Dhanora Road of Badi, where a meeting was held in which Gurjar also participated. A video of Gurjar has become viral on social media, in which he is shown threatening his opponents saying, "If anyone touches my worker (karyakarta), I will cut his hand. If anyone addresses my worker with the word 'Tu' (not so respectable way to address somebody), I will not let him come out of his house and I will lay down bodies (lashe bichha dunga)." He also alleged his opponents are not allowing his workers to use flags.
